Mere Ride (9.3 miles 14.89 km ) Print

Little off road but the lanes are quiet in an area with very heavy traffic, and almost no off road riding. (Note: The A556 has been rerouted and the old road is now the B5569. When you open the map this shows correctly, but if you zoom the map it reverts to the original map. This is a problem with the OS maps over which BHS have no control)
